THE EURO WEEKLY NEWS

September 2007: Dining out at the top of the Algarve. "The view from the summit of Monchique is one of the wonders of the Algarve. Less well heralded but equally astounding is the spectacle from Alcaria do Cume in the eastern Algarve. At a height of 525 metres, the village takes its name from the mountain range, and the view towards the ocean includes Monte Gordo, Altura, Cabanas, Tavira and its sand bar island."
"The meal commences with an unusual couvert..."
"A recommended restaurant."

"We had heard about a new place between the clouds, the sea and the mountains. Or rather, a table on top of a mountain with views of the ocean. A strange place to open a business?"
Intrigued, we went off in search, via tight bends and through a country landscape of hills and valleys..."
" The terrace is a delightful retreat of sun and tranquility."
"Approved!!!The couple enjoy what they do. Giving us every reason to avoid what´s on offer along the coast.
"...magnificent feast..." "On our way home, a young owl bids us farewell..."
